ROSCOMMONS HORNPIPE. Irish (?), Hornpipe. B Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. From the music manuscripts of Setauket, Long Island, painter and fiddler William Sydney Mount (1807-1868). Mount had evidently copied it from a book or ms. in the possession of Mr. S. Wheeler, perhaps a musical acquaintance or friend.
